| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bust of King Enrique II facing right, depicted in a stylized medieval manner with flowing hair and a crown, occupying the central field of the flan. The effigy is rendered in low relief consistent with hammered billon coinage of the period. A circular Latin legend surrounds the royal portrait, reading ENRICVS REX LEGIONIS, identifying the king as Enrique II, King of Leon. The legend is set between an inner and outer beaded border. The flan is irregular in shape, as is characteristic of mid-14th-century Castilian hammered coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Enrique II came to power by murdering his half-brother Pedro I at Montiel in 1369 — a fratricide that ended a brutal civil war and placed the Trastámara dynasty on the Castilian throne. The cruzado was among the first coinages struck under his authority, partly to finance the enormous debts accumulated during that war, much of it owed to French mercenary companies under Bertrand du Guesclin who had fought on Enrique's behalf.
The Burgos mint held particular prestige among Castilian facilities, and AB#451 represents output from the earliest years of a reign still consolidating itself militarily and financially.
